The rules
- Add symbols from largest to smallest: VIII = 5 + 3 = 8.
- Never repeat a symbol more than three times: 4 is IV, not IIII.
- Subtract only I from V and X, X from L and C, C from D and M: IX = 9, XL = 40, CM = 900.
49 is XLIX, not IL
- 49 in Roman numerals
Step-by-step working 1 steps
- 1Take the largest value that fits, repeatedly
40 → XL 9 → IX
Subtractive pairs (CM, CD, XC, XL, IX, IV) are used instead of four equal symbols in a row.
Reading a large numeral
Split into thousands, hundreds, tens and ones: MCMXCIV = M (1000) + CM (900) + XC (90) + IV (4) = 1994. The Roman numeral converter does either direction.
